Nestled within the picturesque Flåm Valley lies one of the world's steepest railways, the
Flåm Railway (Flåmsbana⭐⭐⭐). This dramatic train journey offers a panoramic view of some of the wildest and most magnificent nature in the Norwegian fjord landscape.
Starting at a mere 2 meters above sea level, it ascends to a breathtaking 867 meters, conquering a constant 5% gradient. This 20 km (13.75 miles) journey from
Flåm to the idyllic mountain hamlet of
Myrdal weaves through twenty tunnels and hugs the contours of some of Norway's most dramatic scenery, including beautiful fjords, waterfalls, and valleys. No wonder it attracts visitors from all over the world—it's truly one of the most scenic train journeys you'll ever experience.

On April 6, 2023, we boarded the
Flåm Railway for a round-trip journey from
Flåm to
Myrdal. Chugging through narrow valleys blanketed in pristine white, the train felt like stepping into a fairytale. Every turn unveiled new vistas: waterfalls adorned with icy diamonds, and forests frosted into shimmering sculptures.
The
Flåm Railway in the snowy spring is more than just a ride. It's an immersion into the soul of Norway, a tapestry woven with breathtaking landscapes, the whispers of changing seasons, and the quiet charm of its people. It's a journey that lingers in the memory, a reminder of the raw beauty and delicate dance of life in this magical corner of the world.
